    LOVED the free breakfast in the mornings. The staff were super friendly and the having breakfast in the courtyard every morning was a great way to start the day and get to know new people. Would highly recommend Elbrus Home!

    Over the two months we stayed in Nepal, we always made sure to book ahead to get into Elbrus Home. The staff were always super kind and helpful with organizing taxis and buses for trekking and general sightseeing. They let you store your belongings for free which is perfect for treks. The breakfast is super yummy and SO fast. The location is ideal since it’s a tiny bit away from the chaos of Thamel but still so close (5 min walk). There is a yummy momo place down the road (RK Momo). The rooms were always great with exceptionally comfortable beds and nice heavy duvets.

    We had a wonderful stay at Elbrus home. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. They were really kind letting us leave our kit and bike boxes in their storage room for a couple of weeks whilst we head elsewhere. The breakfast every morning was delicious! Would really recommend!

    Some sheets and towels need to be replaced as they have rips Curtain for beds would be nice for privacy The bathroom is not so clean sometimes

    Stayed there twice and will probably be back for the 3rd. The owner is such a nice man, well all employees are actually. The dorm is spacious with a cute balcony. It's clean enough. The terrace and the garden are great to chill and meet people. Breakfast is more than enough with eggs, ghee, jam, bread, banana, coffee or tea and juice

    The staff was really helpful. They arranged transport & were always at place. I liked everything at the hotel:)) It's near the popular tourist district - Thamel. It's got a great view from the roof terrace onto Kathmandu :)) You can get tasty breakfasts prepared for you ( you can choose what you want) Can reccomend it fully :))

    This was my second stay at Elbrus Home, and I loved both visits! The owner is amazing and kind, always available to help out with a smile. The facilities are great, the house has a nice atmosphere and full of other travelers/backpackers, and it is exceptional value for the money. Location is ideal, walkable to the main tourist area and many other sights. I am sure I will be back again on my next visit to Nepal :)

    You should provide some electric heater more, as the weather is very humid in Kathmandu

    Khem is an exceptional host; he welcomed us warmly and was extremely kind, as were his collaborators. The trip he organized for us to Pokhara and Nagarkot was well-planned. Unfortunately, the roads are very rough because they are still paving them.

    Nothing. This place is awesome.

    I loved how comfortable and quiet the hostel was even though it's in a buzzing, vibrant area. It is very clean and great value. The location is fantastic with so many great restaurants, shops, etc. close by in Thamel. The bus station isn't too far either and we could easily walk there. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and a lovely way to start the day. The owner of the hostel was able to help with any questions we had and held some luggage while we visited other parts of Nepal. We will absolutely be back!

    Everything was perfect. The owner is very good. It feels like home. All the requests were promptly addressed and owner of the property is a very kind person. Location of the property is excellent near Thamel Market. You can easily cover Thamel as it is at walkable distance. They serve good breakfast which is complimentary.
